An Oil-Gas Separator is a critical filtration device designed to efficiently remove oil aerosols and liquid droplets from compressed air, gas streams, or refrigeration systems. It ensures clean, oil-free output while recovering lubricant for reuse, protecting downstream equipment and meeting environmental standards.
✔ Ultra-High Efficiency – Removes 99.9% of oil particles (ISO 8573-1 Class 0 compliant)
✔ Low Pressure Drop – Optimized design minimizes energy loss (<0.2 bar)
✔ Corrosion-Resistant – Stainless steel or composite construction
✔ Auto-Drain Option – Zero-loss electric or float drains available
✔ Modular Design – Easy cartridge replacement
Type | Mechanism | Best For |
---|---|---|
Coalescing Separator | Fibers merge oil droplets → gravity drainage | Compressed air, CNG processing |
Centrifugal Separator | Rotational force throws oil to walls | High-flow industrial systems |
Baffle/Impact Separator | Oil collides with plates → drains | Low-cost refrigeration systems |
Adsorption Separator | Activated carbon absorbs vapors | Ultra-clean air (pharma/electronics) |
